Six-pack

We were contacted by the representative of the CTO at Capgemini, Andy Mulholland. Andy’s blog at www.capgemini.com/ctoblog/2007/04/6word_it_stories.php has been challenging readers to come up with six-word IT stories and he would like to share some with us.
We liked: ‘Tape backup? Um...what tape backup?’, ‘Architects? Too expensive for my project’, and our slightly melancholy favourite: ‘I want requirements; you provide solutions’.
OK, so Wired did something similar last year (which Andy acknowledges – it is the blogosphere after all), and we wished we had got to it before either of them, but take a look.
After all, it is good to see consultants thinking about how to do things economically for a change – we should encourage them.

The battery for my wireless keyboard ran out last week and that's when I noticed the paradoxical message at system boot up. "Keyboard not detected. Press Esc to continue or F2 to enter setup." If the keyboard isn't working, how're you supposed to press the relevant key!
